before I took him, I was kind of worried about philosophy. However, Scott Sevier is great professor and he knows what he is teaching. It is not an easy class, but if you work enough then you will get an A. Every homework is based on the book and the tests are based on the homework questions.

The program used for his Phil 102 class was most certainly a benefit to the class. The program has a textbook, many assignments are built into it, and it really makes learning the material later in the class much easier. At the beginning of the semester, we had several books that were quite informative. Overall, not much work, learned a lot.

I'll admit I was nervous to take a Philosophy class at first but this Professor made it fun and enjoyable. Lectures and assignments were very straight - forward. You can tell that he cares about the subject matter and makes you think about how it applies to our everyday lives. His expectations are reasonable and the class was very organized.

Philosophy101 is a class that most students need to take for their major. Some may see it as unnecessary, but if there is something that has changed my life positively in my college experience, it has to be Dr. Seviers philosophy 101 class. Understanding the wisdom written by the ancients is a hefty task, but his lectures makes it fun and engaging

Was a great class with good reading materials that were actually interesting, unlike many other classes. As long as you read the material and try on the homework you will get an A. He is super nice and provides feedback on everything.

The Syllabus was very clear, study, do the assignments, pass. I enjoyed the class, loved that it was a true online course. Will definitely take him again, recommend him to everyone.

Professor Sevier really has a real passion for Philosophy! He puts in the hard work and expects you to do it too! He is there for any questions you may have! This class really opened my eyes to how the world works. I really enjoyed this class!

He points you in the right direction. He doesnt try to be a crutch for you. Textbook was not necessary but he said if you wanted it, you could buy it. He explains things very easily to understand and doesnt turn you away if you dont understand a chapter.

Dr. Sevier was an exceptional teacher. Though he does not require it, I HIGHLY reccommend sending in a draft of your essays in because he gives VERY detailed feedback, which is extremely helpful.

I have taken both of Dr. Sevier's classed, and during Covid too. He has been easily accessible even through the pandemic, and his class was very easy to navigate. He keeps things interesting in lectures, and will always get back to you within 24 ours of reaching out to him. He's wonderful teacher and I would take a class with him again if I could.

I loved his class straight to the point you know exactly what you need to turn in at exactly what dates it's due lovely professor!!!!!!!!! definitely take this class with this professor !!!!!!!

Took as an online summer class, and it was such a good experience. Aware of what's expected of you at start of class. Lectures and reading aren't mandatory, but both aren't too heavy so I would recommend doing both and you will get an easy A. highly recommend!!

I just finished the online summer Phil 102 course and would 100% take it again. The chapters weren't long at all and test Q's are HW Q's. The material could be difficult to understand, but his lectures are there if you need them. I would skim each chapter once, do the homework, and easily pass the test. The homework is actually really helpful too!!

I enjoyed this online class! The course was split into reading with homework from a book and the other was a McGrawHill program. The tests are easy when you understand the material (prof can be available). The professor gives amazingly detailed feedback that actually tells you what's wrong and how to fix it, which makes everything easier.

The majority of the work is done through an online textbook and it is due about every two days. For the first few assignments, the professor gives good feedback and will answer any questions you have. Easy class just super close deadlines.

This is a wonderful professor, the reason why I gave him a "3" for difficulty is because you need to actually get the information down. If you are a student who follows the course and the schedule then you will do great!

This class was very straight forward as long as you do what youre supposed to and dont get behind. There is a lot of reading involved but its manageable. There is a quiz or questions to answer following the chapters you read.

Dr. Sevier was always willing to help when I sought clarification on assignments. He answers questions in a timely manner and offered reassurance when I bombed a quiz. I buckled down and reviewed his lectures and ended up with an A- in his course. I would highly recommend his course if you want a caring, knowledgeable and hands on instructor.

This class can be so beneficial if you are ready to dive in. For students truly interested in philosophy - aka the love of wisdom - this class is for you. I learned so much, and I really loved the required reading materials because if you allow it, some of those scriptures can bring life changing realizations. Prof breaks it down like no other too

Really enjoyed the way he set up the class and lectures. Made it easy to understand, study, and pass.

THIS GUY! I just took this professor, and he knows what he's talking about. The lectures can be long but listening to them like a podcast is much easier to handle. The note taking is crucial to this class. We used McGraw-Hill Connect, super easy to use. Just take your notes and you'll easily pass the class. He is helpful when you ask. Nice guy!

Organized, listens to the students, helpful if you have any questions. Responds quickly to emails. He explains the material clearly and how to read the complicated material.

Easy to follow and lectures are easy to follow. There is a lecture, learn smart, and a homework assignment each week. class started off with a book that you write a short paper about. Pretty easy grader and will let you know what you did wrong in a respectable manner. Test every three chapters and are not that hard. Great professor!

The course was difficult, but Dr. Sevier provided a very informative and stimulating course. His lectures were clear, informative, and helped me understand and grasp the concepts behind the material. Added benefit was the humor here and there. Also, he always responded to my questions expeditiously! I would recommend him hands down!

This professor is very articulate and has a talent for simplifying some VERY complex logical concepts. If you are a business major or pre-law major, you will gain a whole lot from his style and curriculum. You will receive at least two opportunities to fully immerse yourself in the material: his lectures and the textbook. The lectures were superb.

I took the 8 week course online assignment are do every week online, can knock them out in one day! Test are also multiple choice and done online. Optional recorded lectures for you to better understand the sections!

This Professor responded to my concerns about classes at 9pm at night. He is very engaged and he clear about the course.

Dr. Sevier was an awesome professor. His class consisted of weekly quizzes, homework, optional lectures, & 4 exams. They were all easy as long as you did everything listed. Never miss a deadline! He doesn't accept late work! I waited until the day of the due date to do an assignment and the McGraw-Hill Connect website was down all day so I got a 0!

This professor was by far one of the best I've ever had. He is genuine dude. My only issue was simply on me. I didn't do the homework as often as I should've. However, he was a great professor overall. He really knew in depth about everything he was covering, and did an astonishing job. If I could take his class over and over again I really would.

U only have to write 1 paper. Ur assigned to 1 chapter a week (2 hws each). 4 exams in total and about 5 quizzes about a book. You have to purchase this program where you'll have access to ur hw, tests, and textbook. Plus a book (which you will only read a few chapters. His videos are good & optional. Take notes on the hw examples

Great course overall! Go to the lectures, it helps you practice and do well on the exams. Some info is repetitive because it goes over the chapters you had to read for homework. Dr. Sevier is very understanding, and there is plenty of time to do the homework, however, the program he uses DOES NOT accept late work.

Great professor and course.

Great professor & course. Required textbook paired with access to online program. 2 assignments a week, 1 paper, & 4 online exams that can be done at home. Responds to emails quick. Review lectures on material for hw/exams with practice problems that could be on exams. Attendance not mandatory, but gives extra points if absent 2 or fewer times.

Dr. Sevier is an excellent professor with a fairly easy class. A small book was required followed by an online textbook. Just do the reading and you should easily pass the class. Would definitely take again!

Professor Sevier had a very well organized and fairly easy class. Very easy to work ahead and homework was actually relevant to your tests so use it as a study tool. One physical book and one online book is required. Highly reccomend if you like to work ahead as the syllabus has a schedule for all due dates. Highly reccomend!

This was an enjoyable class. I learned a lot and Dr. Sevier is a cool teacher. Definitely recommend.

Great class. Dr. Sevier is nice and available when help is needed. Take this class.

Amazing Professor! I actually learned in this course. Professor Sevier provided recorded lectures and strict deadlines which made it so much easier to stay on top of the online course. 10/10 recommend this professor. I wish more professors were like him!

I would recommend taking his course! He is my first professor that has a lecture that is optional for every chapter. The material is tough and sometimes confusing so his lectures help A LOT! and I really appreciated them. The chapters are short, with 2 homework assignments a week and 2 exams (total). The exams were based on hw, you cannot fail.

Professor Sevier was very clear. I took his 8-week summer class. It was 6 chapters and 2 exams. As long as you do the homework, you should be able to pass the exams. The professor also sends announcements about when the exam will be open and when it will close. Would 100% take him again.

I took his 8-week summer course. Professor Sevier has reasonable expectations. Syllabus was clear on homework and tests. There were only 6 homework assignments and 2 exams. If you had any issues he responded in a timely manner. His lectures were beneficial. Would take his classes again.

Teacher uses McGraw Hill's Connect-LearnSmart software: 6 Class Assignments; 6 Homework and #1 Exam (3 chapters) and #2 Exam (3 chapters). Class assignments/Homework are easy A's (unlimited # of attempts and LearnSmart points to answers in book. The 2 Exams are easy A's. Just study from class assignment and homework. Easy A, no stress GREAT teacher

Took this professor's 8 week course during the summer. The class only had 2 exams (including the final) and a couple of assignments on McGraw Hill. While there isn't much to do, it is important you do well on each assignment / test because it all adds up. Dr. Sevier replies promptly. Overall, I recommend this prof. if you need to take this course.

This Professor is amazing, the homework was not only easy, the professor even provided videos, so if you were confused, it should help clear up anything. The professor is very understanding, even replies within the same hour, something very rare at this campus. Best class I've taken hands down, not difficult, you have to go out of your way to fail.

Dr. Sevier is great! There is a $90 textbook, but the assignments come with the textbook as its all online. Few assignments that are pretty easy. He also has optional lecture videos that are really helpful when you don't want to read a ton.

Nice & helpful teacher. 5 quizzes on a book, 1 exam. "Book inspection" assignment. Then you move on to McGraw Hill program. There is 8 sections to complete with a learnsmart and homework for each. One midterm and final. Class is fairly easy. Professor gives prerecorded lectures that are helpful about that course material.

I enjoyed being taught by Professor Sevier. He is able to teach a difficult topic well and keep things enjoyable at the same time. Professor Sevier has video lectures for every assignment which are incredibly helpful. He has great things to say as well as some humorous moments within these lectures.

He was a great professor. There is a few readings, and he does provide lecture videos. He was a great professor, and I am glad I choose him for my Phil 102. I definitely recommend taking his course.

His class was very simple and you only have to make sure to read and do the lessons and hw. The first part of the class is reading the Adler book and with every next unit, he has lectures that are optional that really just break everything down. These are very helpful and there is honestly no way to fail this class.

Great professor, but that depends on the type of student you are. Attendance isn't required but if you actually want to understand I recommend showing up to lectures, they can be long but helpful. If a professor who talks a lot and for a long time isn't your thing then he may not be the right for you. Also, 2 books are needed. I recommend him!

The first few weeks require you to read a textbook (That you can find free online) and then take a few quizzes. After this, the HW assignments open up, which are pretty easy. They have unlimited attempts and are the *same* questions that appear on the exams. The professor also has optional video lectures.

This teacher was amazing! This was a straightforward class do your work and PASSS! easy as that. I recommend this teacher 100000%. Seriously if you do all your work this is an easy A. PROMISE!!!

Dr. Sevier's in-person course was very interesting. Dr. Sevier really loves what he does and tries his best to make sure the class is engaged. There is readings every week with two assignments, both assignments can be completed based on the reading. There are four exams total and two required textbooks, each lesson builds on the last. Awesome class

One of the best classes I've taken. It's an easy A if you read the books. 2 assignments per week- you are able to retake as many times as possible, 5 exams. The assignment questions were part of the exam. EASY and very inciteful.

The instructor always went the extra mile to provide us extra material for us to use to study, and reminded us about deadlines. Clear that he cares about students, and the course was interesting. I took the class online, so you have to be self-sufficient, but it was perfect for me because I knew what I was signing up for. You can ask him for help.

While I know nothing about other Philosophy professors at CSN, Dr. Sevier has to be one of the best. He is passionate about his subject, always goes the extra mile to teach and help EVERY student that needs it, and makes the material seem easy. Would absolutely take more classes with him.

Great professor! Class was very straight forward as long as you do the assignment you shouldn't have any problem getting an A. I took the online class and was able to receive feedback quickly. Assignment are simple and have the same questions you'll get for the exams.I would definitely recommend taking his class.

Fantastic professor! He truly cares about what he teaches and makes philosophy an interesting subject. I suggest attending class because he explains everything in detail and will go over things if you don't understand them. Everything in the second half is on McGraw Hill and easy to follow. If you have a chance to take his class, do it!

Dr. Sevier was an incredible professor who facilitated access to all the materials for this online class. The recorded lectures provided a clear and informative overview of all the concepts covered within the class, and his caring attitude is apparent in his prompt responses to emails. I would definitely recommend taking Dr. Sevier's class!

Honestly an awesome professor. Textbook was required but honestly his video lectures were more better than the textbook. With his video lectures you really get to understand the concepts of each chapter. Really recommend taking him!

Good communication.

Dr. Sevier is great! His expectations are clear and reasonable (4 weeks summer course, really condensed). His lectures are calm and insightful. Unlimited attempts on HW so you can really learn and get an A on those and the exams. Interesting course, would take him again!!

I took the summer course and honestly I was a little hesitant about dropping the class because I was also taking another class. But I am so glad I went through with it and passed with an A! He is very clear from the beginning about the assignments, hw, and quizzes which you do need to buy an online access for it. Stay on task and you will pass!

Very nice professor, his lecture videos really help clarify and understand the chapters of the textbook.

He is an amazing professor, very helpful lectures, and provides useful feedback. I would totally recommend him!!

I am excited for taking his class next semester! Does anyone have a recommendation on assignments?

I only recommend this class if you're only taking 1-2 classes unlike me I took 5 classes this semester. The class does require an amount of time because you are going to be reading alot 4 books to be precise. The professor is caring does go over every chapter with you. I would've gotten an A if I put in more time.

I say take this professor, he is a great professor. The beginning of the class required a textbook and was the assignments were time consuming but the second half was on McGraw-Hill so you have to pay for it, there were less assignments but still time consuming. He provides optional lectures as well as 3 exams.

I am taking this class next semester

Take Dr. Sevier; he is a great professor. His recorded lectures are very helpful and informative. I recommend watching them. You have unlimited attempts on homework. This class is very easy as long as you read and understand the materials; you'll get an A.

I would recommend Dr. Sevier's class to anyone taking Philosophy 102; this class teaches critical thinking which in my opinion is very interesting. He has pre-recorded lectures which you should watch while also reading both textbooks in order to grasp the material better. The work load is manageable and insightful on the subject--very useful.

I am taking this class of spring 2024 as my last class at csn of spring 2024! Lecture are provided for you! The assignments are on website!

Hi everyone! I recommend taking professor Sevier class! Everything is open the first day of semester.

I am taking this class of spring 2024! There will be quizzes on Adler! Homework is on learnsmart websites

Lots of assignments! Hi everyone! I hope you having a good semester. Tests and quizzes are very important!

This professor is very kind and gets back to you pretty quickly. I think he is extremely fair. Tests are each worth 15% of your grade, so that is a bit of a bummer, but tests are also very fair. This was a hard class for me. I would rather do any math class over Philosophy, but this Professor made it tolerable! I recommend Sevier!

I took this class of spring 2024! The assignments was fun! Tests are very hard but is he fair grader!

The professor is super helpful and nice. Homework is due before each class. Class is an easy A as long as you study. One of my favorite professors I've had.

Prof. Sevier's class was easy-going and pretty straightforward. You'll be learning a lot of reading techniques and annotations/ definitions but it's not difficult. This professor cares a lot about his students and responds pretty quickly to emails! Definitely recommend him!!!

I attend the class because attendance was extra credit not required for grade. Chill, only attend the class couple time because I my work change alot. He make the class really easy. Love it. In person class but all homework and test are online.

Good professor! There is lots of reading! The assignments was fun!

The quizzes was easy especially if you read the book.. The tests was hard! The assignments was interesting! Most assignments are graded by completion and accuracy! Read the syllabus

There will be quizzes in the Adler books. And tests are few chapters. The assignments was interesting. No extra credit!

Excellent online course. Uses McGrawHill online, which is super conducive to learning. If you do all of the homework, exams will be a breeze. Great lectures, great textbook, great resources. Dr. Sevier knows how to run an online classroom. Take 102 with him. Was 4 weeks long, yet not overwhelming with work.

I took Professor Sevier's online course in summer 2024. There was a midterm and a final that opened a day early. The other assignments were available from day one. Work ahead, but pay close attention to deadlines. Dr. Sevier is helpful and serious about his subject. He gives optional video lectures; they will help you with the material.

I took this class of spring 2024! The assignments was fun and interesting. Tests was good. If you have any questions about the material email him. I recommend him.

Hi everyone. I took this class of spring 2024. There lots of assignments and tests was an breeze and quizzes was fun.

I highly recommend this professor. Do not be fooled he is not the easiest class, because you have to read 1-2 chapters a week plus quizzes that follow after each reading. The exams are made from the quizzes so if you study those you'll pass. He is willing to help you understand the material and very easy to contact outside of class.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Incredibly interesting lectures and course content. Plato, Socrates, Boethius and Descartes are his focus. Questions about how you think and live your life. There is a lot of reading but it's really interesting. Very funny professor too. His jokes really make a tough topic manageable and fun.

Dr. Sevier gives really good lectures, he makes everything very easy to understand. I recommend going to the lectures even though attendance isn't required, the lectures give you an in depth understanding of the texts and they're very enjoyable. He's a great professor!

Lectures are interesting, easy class, cool dude, take him.

Great teacher, good guy. Lectures were very helpful in the class.

This critical thinking class was a bit challenging for me. If you listen to a lecture off handed without really thinking about every word, it can start to sound like another language. This being said, Dr Sevier really walks you through the material and ensures he has repeated the info needed I. Several ways to ensure it starts to sink in.

10/10. He is very easy going, responds rather quickly, and is very easy to understand. The book comes in handy for this class. Most of your learning is done through reading and online assignments. It is easy to work ahead, and easy to find study materials online (Quizlet). Do the work and you will get a good grade, it is that simple.

His lectures are very well planned out and easy to follow along with. Although attendance isn't required, actually being in the class and listening to the lectures is so helpful for further understanding. He is very good at explaining each new lesson without overloading you with too much information. A chill professor, definitely take his class.

Attendance isn't required but if you have a hard time, he loves answering questions and there are NEVER wrong/stupid questions. He is always happy to help any student if they have any problems with the classwork or project. Definitely take his class, you won't regret it!

I didn't realize how important philosophy was until I took his class. Try your best to participate, you'll learn more. Ask questions if you're lost!! Don't be one of those people that stay quiet cause you're too shy— none of that. It's an easygoing class. Keep up with the reading and lectures, and you should get an A.

Professor Sevier is one of the best online instructors I've had at CSN. The course was super organized, everything was clear from the start. Communication was always timely/helpful, and he really cared about us doing well. The layout makes it easy to stay on track, and as long as you put in effort, you'll definitely succeed.

Dr. Sevier's course work has reasonable expectations, to be well-organized and understandable, the grading clear and/or fair, and the content useful, beneficial, or enjoyable in some other way, communication timely and helpful, I found his online lectures and/or reading questions to be helpful. Easy grader and workload. 3 exams in total!

Class was simple. The first four weeks there was a small textbook and weekly 10-15 question quizzes on canvas and was open book. The rest of the class we focused on a textbook using McGraw Hill and there were 2 weekly assignments which was easy, open book, and unlimited attempts. At the beginning, we also had to do a small book report.

Amazing prof! He's funny, makes lectures fun, and his love for the subject really shines through. I actually enjoyed the class, the topic was interesting AND more important than I thought it would be taking it as a required credit. Learned lots of pretty cool stuff. Easy hw, superrr easy exams. I can't recommend him enough!

Definitely take this class. His lectures are fun, and he's really funny. You can tell he loves his subject. The topic was actually really interesting and fun to learn about. I really did learn a lot. You just have to read the material which is isn't too much, do the easy homework, and show up if you can. 10/10 worry less class.

Amazing lectures! Very friendly professor who is clearly passionate and knowledgeable in his field. Two quizzes a week, a few exams based on the information in the lectures, and two easy in-class writing assignments. Try your best to read and understand the materials he gives you, and make sure to take good notes! 10/10 would recommend. DO IT.
